Product Information

The Eames Molded Plywood Dining Chair Metal Base, known as DCM, is a classic example of the Eameses philosophy of using honest materials. The chair, designed in 1946, uses two pieces of molded plywood and metal rods for support creating supreme body-cradeling comfort. The gently curves and comfort created from the molding process from a hard material established a foundation for future modern design.

A chair whose process to make and timeless design earned it the right to be named the Best Design of the 10th Century by Time Magazine, the runner up being the steam locomotive.
